@comealong Original Work - Portrait of a Boy
A Boy
Mixed media piece.
graphite/charcoal/digital drawing.
A little bit of the process on this one:
I started with a quick sketch of the face indentifying where to add shading. I let the piece kind of grow organically and wherever it moves me. More importantly locating where to show lights and darks. I don't worry too much about miscalculations or mistakes, I tend to either go with it or simply manipulate along the way.
After I've laid everything out on this piece by paper, for this particular drawing, I move to manipulate in Photoshop. I enhance shading with the paint and eraser tools and a series of blending. I perfect anything that needs adjusting. My goal is to get to the point where I get it looking as smooth and realistic as possible...as if you're looking at a black and white photograph.
Emotional pieces are always my favorite. My goal is to get the emotion accross through the eyes. That to me, is always the most powerful. If I can get accross the feelings I felt while making this, I've done my job.
Hope you enjoyed.

look at the hope in that child's eyes. even with a face ready for whatever is about to happen there is still the belief that something good may happen. those eyes are just looking right into fate and that face is getting prepared to battle. you just want to grab and and hug this little urchin. say everything will be fine. very moving. i really enjoyed it.
very well put. I get so caught up with my drawings sometimes that when I see something like that come through, I wonder if others can see it too. Thank you so much for your feeback.
Very well done, good job. Will have to follow and check out more. I just love it when the artist shows some of the process. So cool!
